This bill if passed by the House will shorten the lives of millions of Americans and bring the republic to the point of collapse. It’s a gift to oligarchs at home and enemies abroad.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the Yucatán, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around.

International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

Anyone know if there is anyone that can run against Schumer? I'm sick of these old white men refusing to serve their constituents while caving to the would-be-dictator.

@schumer.senate.gov called your office yet again, and yet again left a voicemail.

Does anyone ever answer your phone? Or do you only pretend to serve your constituents? Just wondering.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

The implication that the rich know how to spend money better than the poor is bullshit.

When you have to count every cent, you truly understand the value of a dollar.
